Theatre hosts night of remembrance
IT is Remembrance Sunday this weekend and as a prelude, tomorrow night at the Fisher Theatre at Bungay the Friends of All Hallows Hospital are presenting an Armistice Night event, at 7.30pm.
It will feature the Beccles Friends in Harmony choir, formed in 1996 under its conductor Bram Bryant.
It has held many fundraising concerts since then, and has grown in numbers to its present 30 singers, both male and female, raising over �30,000. Tickets, with a box meal, are �10.
Next Wednesday sees the latest of the lunch-time recitals at the theatre.
It will feature Zeffiretti, a wind and harpsichord ensemble, playing a mainly baroque programme which will include sonatas by Telemann, Handel and CPE Bach.
Zeffiretti, which means a little light wind, was formed in 2005 by people passionate about music of the baroque period, though they often extend their repertoire to 20th century work.
The members comprise teachers and freelance professionals based in Norfolk and Suffolk, who have performed frequently around the two counties.
